Portion of Metropolitan Branch Trail Opened in Silver Spring

A portion of the Metropolitan Branch Trail at the Silver Spring Metro
Station has been opened to enhance accessibility around the Transit
Center. The trail reestablishes pedestrian connections from the
northbound MARC platform.

The portion of the trail that was opened Thurday extends from the
south end of the MARC train platform to the transit plaza in front of
the Metro Station.

During the next month, weather permitting, the trail will be extended to Ripley Street.
